    My husband and had had a great dinner last night. There were beautiful bouquets of flowers on every table. It being the day after Valentine’s Day we were pleasantly surprised at how well they handled such a crowd. I ordered the ribs and they were fabulous. My former favorite ribs were at Rutherford Grill but these definitely gave them a run for the money!! My husband had his favorite short ribs and they were delicious! We are regular customers and will continue to go there every chance we get.

    Delicious. One of our favorite spots for a quick getaway and delicious food. We sat outside and able to enjoy the live music from the filling station, too.

    We dined at Mankas Grill for an early Valentines Day dinner. The baked Brie appetizer was delicious! My husband had the short ribs and those were fork-tender! We plan on going back, either for dinner or a Sunday brunch…..

    As Always, we really enjoyed our evening!!! I Made a reservation last minute and didn’t say anything about my birthday. When we arrived, there was a birthday card on the table. It is this attention to detail that makes Mankas Grill so special.

    This is our go to local spot for a nice night out. We have watched this restaurant steadily just getting better. Food and service was amazing on this visit. My wife had the Filet and said it was one of the best she has had.

    We took my parents to Mankas Grill for dinner. We were seated at the adjoining seating area of the restaurant down a ramp even though we had requested to be seated n the bar area and there were empty tables. It also is usually more quiet in the bar. Unfortunately, we were seated in the adjoining seating area next to 4 women who were on their second round of drinks and extremely LOUD! They were yelling and laughing so loud, it was ridiculous!!! We could not hear one another at our own table and head to lean into each other every time someone in our party tried to talk. It was obnoxious and everyone that was seated in this part of the restaurant kept looking at the table next to us!!! My Dad and I ordered the BBQ Ribs but neither of us could finish them as they were too spicy. My partner’s pork chop was undercooked. The wedge salad that my Mom ordered looked delicious and she thoroughly enjoyed it. We passed on dessert just to get out of there. Sure, give them a try but be prepared to be overwhelmed by the noise!
